In anticipation of The Avengers release, I decided to pull together some outfits that were inspired by characters from the film, but that I could also go to class in without looking like I was trying to walk the runway. Sadly my Captain America earrings didn’t make it there in time, but that didn’t stop me from throwing my best salute!

Laura Kinney, aka X-23, has been a favorite of mine ever since she first appeared on X-Men: Evolutions. Her usual fashion sense (and costumes) tend towards leather pants and crop tops. Instead of taking the easy route, I decided to do an interpretation of her outfit from X-23 #1. While obviously my style’s quite different from Laura’s, I think I found a happy medium here between me and the character.
